Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how the International Association of Evidence Based Psychotherapy ("IAEBP", "we" or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at iaebp.com (the "Website"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

We use the term "cookies" in this policy to refer to cookies and other similar technologies, including web beacons, pixel tags, scripts and local storage.

What Is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website asks your browser to store on your computer or mobile device. When used, cookies help make our Website more user-friendly — for example, by remembering your language preferences, settings and login details.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies to:

make the Website function properly;
remember your preferences and settings;
understand how you interact with the Website so we can improve it;
support security and integrity features; and
where you have consented, analyse website usage and support marketing.

What Types of Cookies Do We Use?

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function and cannot be switched off in our system. They are set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or navigating the site. These cookies do not store any personally identifiable information. You can set your browser to block them, but some parts of the Website may not work.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your language or region) and provide enhanced features. For example, they are used to keep you logged in. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some features may not function properly.

Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how you use the Website — for example, which pages you visit and how long you spend on them. This helps us measure and improve the performance of the Website. The information collected is aggregated and anonymous.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant content and, where applicable, to measure the effectiveness of communications. They may be placed by third-party services whose features appear on our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, you may see less relevant content.

Social Media Cookies

The Website may include social media features such as sharing buttons and embedded content. Therapists listed in our directory may also include links to their own social media profiles. These features may use their own cookies. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the relevant provider:

LinkedIn: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
X (formerly Twitter): x.com/en/privacy

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set by our Website directly.

Third-party cookies are set by other organisations whose services appear on our pages — for example, analytics providers or social media platforms.

Both types may last for the duration of your visit (session cookies) or remain on your device for repeat visits (persistent cookies).

Our Website Platform

Our Website is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix uses its own cookies to support the operation of the Website, including essential functionality, analytics and security. For more information about Wix's use of cookies, please refer to the Wix Cookie Policy.

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to view, delete and manage cookies. You can usually find these options in the "Help" or "Settings" section of your browser. Please note that blocking cookies may affect how the Website functions.
